Phytochrome
Three learning goals:
- what is a phytochrome
plant photoreceptor to govern light development
requirements:light sensing abilitysignal transduction
- phytochromes and their integration in developmenthow phytochrome senses light and what happens then
requirements:light sensitivity at particular wavelengths
- phytochrome interactions with downstream proteins
requirements: signal transduction apparatus that connects phytochrome activity with gene regulation
Phytochrome – plant signal transduction
Environmental signal: light
Receptor: phytochrome
Signal transduction: PIF etc.
Gene activation: PIGs
Biological response: photomorphogenesis
Germination of lettuce seeds (photoreversibility)
Reversible R/FR response system controlled by phytochrome

Phytochrome: from synthesis to action
Arabidopsis: 5 phytochrome proteins (phyA - phy E),
differ in their apoproteins
Phytochrome: homodimeric chromoprotein:
apoprotein and phytochromobilin (open chained tetrapyrrol) as chromophor form holoprotein
